Yeah, barring a situation in which kiosks are put in awful places or somehow throw off the entire vibe of World Showcase, I'm cool with this. I think sometimes it's easy to forget that World Showcase was originally based off the center of the EPCOT city, which would essentially be a large entertainment/shopping/dining district, so I never quite minded the critiques some have that "it feels like a big outdoor mall!"...honestly, that was kind of the point, but it was to have obviously been plussed with Disney created attractions and theming. Plus, EPCOT Center was made to be a "permanent World's Fair", so putting more art and what have you on display works in that vein, as well.
Granted, no, it doesn't excuse Disney not investing in Future World, or not keeping other parts of World Showcase up to date, but taken on its own, I actually like the idea of EPCOT being a place that hosts festivals. When I've armchair quarterbacked/Imagineered ideas to fix Innoventions/CommuniCore, an idea I always come back to is having space in them for things like concert performances and art exhibits, so I'm already a bit partial to the idea.
Of course, I usually get down to WDW in August, so I usually miss the big festivals, anyway, but I'm not against the general idea.
